As there has been some talk of "she
nanegan" in the calling of the primary
election to be held at Campton on to-
morrow to nominate Democratic candi.
date for Sheriff Of Wolfe county, we
have taken some pains to ascertain the
facts in the case. With that end in view,
we called upon A. PORTER LACY, Esq,
Of this town, who is a member of the
Democratic County Committee, and from
him we learn that the call was made in
due form by the chairman, and that it
was in no wise in the interest of any
particular candidate. Mr.. LACY says he
had heard great many persons express
themselves as against precinct primaries
on account of the prevalence of party
feuds and the presence of liquor, a COM
hination that generally promotes strife,
and that he was himself in favor of hay
ing mass meeting to determine the
choice Of candidate He had never
talked with any member of the commit
tee until it met ut Campton, and he then
advanced and advocated mass meeting
but another member of the committee,
THos. G. JOHNSON, Esq, favored a coun-
ty primary to be held at Campton, Au-
gust q, and as that plan met with
the approval of majority of the COM
mittee Mr.. LACY acquicsccd. He is of
opinion that it is the faircst way open to
the aspirants for the Office of Sheriff.
and the best possible means of avoiding
trouble.

We learn from gentleman just from
Breathitt county that the people there
are selling out the mineral rights to all
their lands, and that they are being
bought up by a syndicate for speculation
when the railroad enters that county.
That the selling of these mineral rights
will cause temporary prosperity in that
section is patent, but will that temporary
prosperity rcdouued to the good Of the
county in the long run? The right to
mine minerals does not interfere with
farming operations, but where land is
opened up for mining il seems 20 us it
would be of little valve for agricultural
purposes. However, every one must
paddle his own canoe, aud il he sink
from selling out his rights, it is none of
our fault.

lowing statistics, which we extract from

Enquirer. 1t looks liks there will soon
be foreigners enought to cover the United
States several deep. The report of the
Chief of Bureau of Statistics for the
month ending July 3lst presents some
interesting figures on immigration. The
number of immigrants arriving in TIL,
country in July was 30,0SO, of whom
1861 landed in New York. The mum,
her for the same month last year was
Sl,34S, n difference OF 5000. The i'm,
migration for the seven months ending
on the 3lst of July, 1856, was 22l ,3l3
Thus our increase in population from i'm
migration in favor of the seven month,
of this year was l04,2lS

One OF the heaviest raiH-storms we

on Saturday afternoon. 1t came down
in torrents, flooding portions Of the
town, and running over the sidewalks
into the cellars. During the storm the
cupola of the court house was struck by
lightning, but no serious damage was
done.
Since the organization of the Lou
doun Guards some thirty names have
been signed to a roll for the organiza-
ton of cavalry troop, which will give
this town two military companies.
A large number of summer boarders
are sojourning in the county. The
Loudoun Valley, between the Ketoctin

Hamilton, which is six miles west OF
